For episode 20, I am joined by the mighty Jack Graham. In an instant classic conversation, we cover such diverse subjects as:

The liminality of the 80’s and the future

Sadism and bullying as a mode of government

As above, so below

Talking in generalities

The Alan B’stard connection to Dick Jones

Hitchcockian framing and serious filmmaking

Why the helmet?

The glory of stop-frame and ED209

Weller’s brilliance

And much, much more. Enjoy, and thanks as ever for listening.

In a new, not-Robocop-related podcast, frequent guest of the show George Daniel Lea and I discuss various works that have had a significant impact on us. In this first episode, we discuss Clive Barker's Weaveworld, a childhood favourite. Expect digressions into other Barkers works, references to King, the 80's, Thatcher's Britain and Section 28, and so much more. Hope you enjoy it.
